Heyman On GM Candidates

Jon Heyman of SI.com has the latest on a couple of free agents who don't appear on this list: Rockies GM Dan O'Dowd and Dodgers GM Ned Colletti. Both could be free agents after the year (Colletti has a mutual option) and either could be a candidate to become the permanent Nats GM. Heyman lists White Sox assistant GM Rick Hahn, Marlins exec Dan Jennings, Red Sox exec Jed Hoyer and Rays exec Gerry Hunsicker as other possible fits in Washington, along with acting GM Mike Rizzo.

Heyman says Omar Minaya hurt his job security by going after Adam Rubin, but the Mets don't especially want to fire him with three years remaining on his contract. If Minaya goes, look for the Mets to promote John Ricco.
